07 September 2007, WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) consumer research has found that, most consumers are confused about the wide range of new materials emerging with biodegradable, home compostable, compostable and degradable all being introduced in the UK as bags, pots, trays, films or bottle formats, albeit in relatively small quantities at present.

Biobased plastics are materials in which the carbon is from renewable/bio feedstock instead of petroleum carbon feedstock. The use of bio/renewable carbon as opposed to petroleum carbon allows us to have a reduced (more positive) carbon footprint (carbon neutral); companies could potentially claim carbon credits as well.

Biodegradability in single use short lived packaging and consumer goods allows one to ensure that these become food for microorganisms present in the disposal environment, thereby entering the food chain of the microbial system and completing the cycle – as opposed to nondegradable or partially degradable plastics which creates a negative environmental footprint and many times toxic to the ecosystem.

To have your principles and concepts of this new and emerging technology: Bioplastics, you must attend CMT’s Biodegradable Plastics & Biobased Products Workshop, 11-12 Oct, 2007, Bangkok conducted by Dr. Ramani Narayan, the International Guru himself.

With its second production line in Wuxi, LANXESS’s Semi-Crystalline Products business unit is doubling the capacity of its state-of-the-art compounding plant for the engineering plastics Durethan and Pocan, which only commenced operation last year, to over 40,000 metric tons.Mr. Wang further highlights that the market for engineering plastics is currently growing by 8% in Asia and more than 10% in China. Double-digit growth rates are expected to continue in the automotive and electrical sectors in particular.

6/6/2007, Supachai Lorlowhakarn, Director of the National Innovation Agency (NIA), said that Thailand had an enormous opportunity to produce PLA because the country is now the world’s largest cassava producer and the world’s third largest cassava exporter.Thailand also has a strong plastics industry that can support the development of bio-based-biodegradable plastic. Thailand produces plastic bags, plastic sacks, and plastic film worth about 200 billion baht per year.There is increasing awareness on the part of companies in looking for biobased plastics and biodegradable plastics for their own use in the manufacture of their products (Eg., in electronic, industrial, consumer, automotive parts) or packaging of their products (wherein both biobased and biodegradability are important criteria). This allows a company to contribute to reducing their carbon footprint and ensuing that the disposal of their product after use is environmentally responsible.Dr. Ramani Narayan’s Biodegradable Plastics & Biobased Products Workshop teaches the principles and concepts of this new and emerging technology, its rationale and drivers, and the value proposition it offers to businesses.
